What August feels like

August is when the pedal taverns and bachelorette parties hit peak density downtown, which locals treat as a form of weather. The lakes stay busy right up until the students come back and the traffic changes character.

Expect about 6 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. It’s sticky — light fabrics and an afternoon break earn their keep. about 16 afternoons top 90°.
